High School Regrets

I don't know what it is, but April, May, and June are the busiest months of my life it seems. Everything just piles up where it feels like I can barely keep my head above the water.

I've been trying to keep up with my posts because when I'm not blogging, there are a gazillion things on my mind about what I want to write. Unfortunately, those thoughts slip from my mind if I don't write them down immediately.

On a lighter note, I'm thinking about enrolling my daughter into a mommy and me swim class. I was lucky enough to grow up in an apartment complex with a swimming pool so I was able to teach myself to swim. I want my daughter to be able to swim and perhaps learn to enjoy it one day like I do. If I could, I would have a lane swimming pool in my backyard. Hopefully this time around my daughter would have proper swimming techniques instilled in her by her "future" instructors, unlike moi, who had no technique and had to learn it in college. There are some things I regret in high school besides me moving around 3 years out of my high school experience and not joining the swim team is one of them. I had familial obligations the first two years and I ended up working my 3rd year in high school. Although the work experience has helped me immensely in my "customer service" skills, I wished I would have done something in high school that I would have truly enjoyed.

Swimming for me is like running for some people; it clears my mind. Maybe one of these days I'll be able to jump in the pool and do some laps.
